Sponsored by Magellan AI. April Fools is over - so is relying on guesswork. Magellan AI attribution delivers accurate, reliable data for clearer podcast measurement and better ROAS. Optimize your campaigns
Exclusive Apple Podcasts remains the #1 app in the US for podcast downloads for the biggest shows, according to new data from Podtrac. In a presentation this morning (keynote stage 9am) at Evolutions in Chicago, our Editor will reveal data showing that - even with YouTube views - Apple is still the largest podcast app out there for the 250 biggest shows.
Evolutions, by Podcast Movement, kicked off yesterday with a keynote from Tom Webster - who spoke about the need to convert occasional listeners to more frequent consumers. Organisers say that the event has 1,600 attendees.
Magellan AI is not rebranding. Yesterday, Apr 1, they announced a rebrand to Podgellan AI - but it was an April Fool’s joke. “Of course we won't use the word ‘pod’ in our company name,” Magellan AI CEO and co-founder Cameron Hendrix said, adding “Who would do that?” Magellan AI is this month's sponsor of, um, Podnews.

March 31, 2025Hubbard Radio Launches Gamut Podcast Network
Sponsored by CoHost at Evolutions. How do you know if your audience is truly engaged? Fatima Zaidi of CoHost, James Cridland of Podnews, Sharon Taylor of Triton Digital, and Steve Pratt of The Creativity Business will tell you at Evolutions in Chicago. Join us tomorrow at 3.15pm.
Exclusive: Hubbard Radio has announced the launch of the Gamut Podcast Network, a dedicated podcast division for the 102 year-old company. “The launch of Gamut is more than a rebrand; it’s a pivotal evolution for our company,” said Ginny Hubbard, CEO of Hubbard Radio; the VP/GM is John Goforth, who joined the company last August.
Another snippet of data from Amplifi Media and Coleman Insights: “We asked YouTube podcast consumers which devices they use to tune in. Smartphones remain the top choice at 79%: but the big story is the rise of Smart TVs and computers — each now used by 46% of YouTube podcast consumers.”
The State of Video Podcasting 2025 is on Thursday at 9am on the main keynote stage at Evolutions - 24 hours after the Podnews Report Card.
Linus Media Group (on YouTube as Linus Tech Tips, among others) shares how the content company makes money. Revenue from YouTube is just 11.6% of total revenue; of that, 37.3% comes from a revenue share from YouTube Premium subscribers, which operates similarly to Spotify’s Partner Program.

March 28, 2025BBC rules out UK ads in podcasts
Sponsored by CoHost. Want more listener insights without switching hosting providers? Explore CoHost's Prefix with in-depth podcast analytics and tracking links starting at just $15/month. Sign up today for a free trial.
After criticism from the UK podcast industry, the BBC has said it won’t press ahead with ads in podcasts in the UK, saying that it has “decided to rule out placing adverts around BBC licence-fee funded programmes on third-party podcast platforms in the UK.” The announcement is expected to be confirmed in the BBC Annual Plan next week. Independent podcasters had called the idea “disastrous”.
The BBC will still take some advertising in UK podcasts though; Podnews reported last week on a new BBC podcast which will contain ads inside the UK, but is not produced by the public service. The BBC is funded by advertising outside the UK.
Exclusive: Frequency Ads has launched a new Premium Publisher Network for host-read ads. Partnering with DAX US, the service aims to make host-read ads as easy to buy as programmatic ads.
Popular podcast app Pocket Casts is rolling out “smart folders” next week, which automatically groups shows together. You’ll see them in beta versions of the app now.
“Popular podcast app”? Find out quite how popular Pocket Casts is - next week, in the Podnews Report Card; Apr 2 9.00am on the Keynote Stage at Evolutions.

March 27, 2025Spotify Partner Program expands into Europe
Sponsored by CoHost. Want more listener insights without switching hosting providers? Explore CoHost's Prefix with in-depth podcast analytics and tracking links starting at just $15/month. Sign up today for a free trial.
Spotify’s monetisation model for creators, the Spotify Partner Program is to expand to a further nine new countries, eight in Europe. From Apr 29, eligible audio and video creators in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and New Zealand can enroll.
This means more money for existing partners, too: we’re told that eligible creators earn based on how much Spotify Premium members stream their video content in the markets where the Spotify Partner Program is available; so a US creator will now earn from viewers in these additional countries too. By country population, this grows the total potential audience by 43% (but not all content is equally popular in different countries).
YouTube’s Head of Podcasts, Kai Chuck has left the company after a reorganisation. A YouTube spokesperson told TubeFilter: “To better serve podcasters on YouTube, we’re bringing the Podcast Partnerships team together with the News and Civics Partnerships teams. We’re grateful to Kai Chuk for all his contributions over the years.” The News and Civics Partnerships teams are led by Tim Katz, who wrote a blog post about YouTube Podcasts last month.
Steven Bartlett’s Flight Studio, which launched last April, is readying a video podcast hosting company, called Flightcast. The developer, who goes under the name Rox Codes, is looking for beta testers on LinkedIn. Notably, it claims to offer direct video upload to Spotify, which is something, as far as we’re aware, unavailable in any other third-party host.

March 26, 2025Japan: YouTube is #1 for podcasts
Sponsored by CoHost. Want more listener insights without switching hosting providers? Explore CoHost's Prefix with in-depth podcast analytics and tracking links starting at just $15/month. Sign up today for a free trial.
YouTube is the #1 podcast platform in Japan, according to a new report from Otonal and the Asahi Shimbun Company. A new high of 17.2% of Japanese adults aged 15-69 listen at least once a month; that figure rising to 34% for 15-19 year-olds.
Audio in Japan has always seen lower consumption than in other countries. The 17.2% monthly listeners number compares with 55% in the US.
Last week was the 100th anniversary of the birth of radio in Japan. Podnews’s Editor, James Cridland, will be on Tokyo radio station J-WAVE on Friday morning to talk about podcasting and radio’s future.
Megyn Kelly is to launch her own podcast network. The MK Media network has already signed a number of journalists.
Podcast hosting company RSS.com has added automatic Apple Podcasts submission. The feature from Apple, which was launched in Feb, was driven in part by comments in the Podnews Report Card, and makes it easier for new users to get into Apple Podcasts without registering as a user. (The new Report Card is published next week, in a keynote at Evolutions).
The company is also showing off its reviews and metrics in a new page.

March 25, 2025YouTube could let you swap ads in videos
Sponsored by CoHost. Want more listener insights without switching hosting providers? Explore CoHost's Prefix with in-depth podcast analytics and tracking links starting at just $15/month. Sign up today for a free trial.
YouTube could be switching on dynamic ad insertion, according to a report by Semafor. The report says YouTube “would allow host-read ads to be dynamically inserted and swapped out within individual YouTube videos”, as is already the case for audio podcasts using open RSS. YouTube hasn’t commented.
Semafor suggest that Spotify offers this product. It doesn’t; videos on Spotify do not have dynamic ad insertion, and uploading a video episode replaces any audio episode.
427,000 podcasts from members of The Podcast Standards Project now use additional Podcasting 2.0 features, according to a new update. In a blog post, the group encourages co-operation between podcast hosting companies and podcast apps. The post is the first since August last year; it acknowledges the difficulty of making progress, and asks for “killer features” to help move the project forward.
Generative audio AI company ai|coustics has raised €5mn (US$5.4mn) in funding. The company is aiming to “bring its AI-powered studio-quality sound to every platform and device”.

March 24, 2025Gen Z leans towards video
Sponsored by CoHost. Want more listener insights without switching hosting providers? Explore CoHost's Prefix with in-depth podcast analytics and tracking links starting at just $15/month. Sign up today for a free trial.
Exclusive: New data from The State of Video Podcasting 2025 by Coleman Insights and Amplifi Media, to be unveiled next week at Evolutions (Thu Apr 3, 9-9.30), confirms a major shift in podcast consumption: only 10% of Gen Z podcast consumers never consume video podcasts.
It’s not all about video, though - the study also shows 41% of Gen Z podcast consumers only or mostly consume audio podcasts. The whole sample is slightly higher at 46%. The data is from a survey of 1,000 US podcast consumers, including 307 aged 15-29.
“But, didn’t you highlight data in Podnews showing the opposite a few weeks ago?” Yes, we did. Conducted very differently, that one showed a high level of audio drama fans, which is a clue as to the difference in results: video podcasts of audio drama isn’t really a thing (well, it is, but it’s called Netflix). And... what is a podcast anyway?
Exclusive: What are the 100 best podcasts of all time? Left of Dial Media wants to find out, and launches the 2025 Essential Listening Poll today, with the aim of producing a definitive list from a diverse list of participants, including members of The Podcast Academy and others. You can find out how to get involved on their website.
Based in Vancouver and LA, the women-led boutique network Podcast Nation now represents over three dozen shows, the company says. Today, we’ve a look at the co-founders behind the network, the show that kicked off the company, how they grew, and how they’re considering YouTube in the future.

For the first time, The Infinite Dial from Edison Research has reported that over 50% of Americans are consuming podcasts each month. The research, now in its 27th year, shows that podcasts are consumed by 55% of Americans aged 12+. The study has an enlarged survey size and now asks about “watching” podcasts as well as “listening”. (Podcasts grew whatever question was asked).
The monthly splits show that video podcasts are still trailing audio podcasts, with 48% saying they’d listened to a podcast in the last month, with only 37% having watched one.
The webinar presentation was co-presented by Edison Research VP Megan Lazovick, and Podnews Editor, James Cridland. You can watch it here, as well as download the report.

Evolutions has announced two new keynotes for the event in Chicago IL, USA, from Mar 31 to Apr 3.
Hosts of The Fantasy Footballers, Jason Moore and Mike Wright, will reveal their cross-platform strategy for audience growth and monetization—valuable lessons for creators and industry professionals alike on harnessing passionate communities and building sustainable media businesses. Evolutions says “Their journey from podcast pioneers to running one of the largest independent sports media companies in the world exemplifies the transformative power and unique opportunities within podcasting.”
Just as showbiz and impressive, the Editor of Podnews, James Cridland, returns to reveal the Podnews Report Card, and uncover what podcast publishers really think of the big platforms. The Report Card is in its fourth year; last year, Apple Podcasts was the #1 platform - but is there a challenger this year?
The code PODNEWS will save money on selected passes if you book this week.
Has the total number of listeners to podcasts increased over the last twelve months? We’ve not got long to wait - Edison Research’s Infinite Dial 2025 will be revealed in a free webinar at 2pm Eastern this afternoon. Our Editor, James Cridland, is co-presenting the figures, alongside VP Megan Lazovick.
The 20th People’s Choice Podcast Awards is open for registration. The awards have been running since 2005. Podnews will be a sponsor this year, because of course we will be.
